Anthony Hopkins humorously refers to Kim Kardashian's latest SKIMS product, which has become a viral topic, albeit in a negative light, as reminiscent of his character in "The Silence of the Lambs."
In an unexpected turn of events, Hollywood legends collide as Anthony Hopkins, renowned for his role as Hannibal Lecter in the 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs, humorously compared Kim Kardashian's SKIMS Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap to his infamous mask.
In a viral Instagram video, Hopkins donned the face wrap and jokingly declared, "Hello Kim, I’m already feeling 10 years younger. Goodbye," before mimicking his famous "fava beans and Chianti" line with wide eyes and a grin, poking fun at the resemblance to the iconic Hannibal Lecter mask[1][3].
Kim Kardashian, known for her reality television show, The Kardashians, and her multi-media empire, introduced the SKIMS Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap, a product from her body sculpting/fashion brand. The face wrap, priced at $48.00, has baffled some of Kardashian's most diehard fans and has been compared to items used after jaw surgery or to help with TMJ symptoms[6].
In The Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins starred as the infamous character Hannibal Lecter, who assisted an FBI agent, played by Jodie Foster, in finding another serial killer[2]. Hopkins' character was forced to wear a mask covering most of his face in the film[5].
This humorous comparison could potentially start a new wave of fame for Hopkins as an Insta star who makes fun of fashion trends. The 84-year-old actor is also set to return to television in All's Fair, a show scheduled to air in fall 2025[8].
The Silence of the Lambs, a horror classic, remains one of Hopkins' best movies[7]. With this latest antic, it seems that Hopkins is still keeping audiences on their toes, even after more than three decades since the film's release.
